Matthew Perry to Return to 'The Good Wife'

The "Go On" star will reprise his role as Mike Kresteva in an episode next year.

Mike Kresteva is back.

After a brief appearance in the season four premiere, Matthew Perry is set to return to The Good Wife as the slick Chicago attorney for one episode to air early next year, CBS said Friday.

Kresteva made a dent last season when he and Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) clashed during a blue-ribbon panel investigation. He announced later that season that he would be running against Alicia's husband, Peter (Chris Noth), for governor. Peter also faces billionaire Maddie Hayward (Maura Tierney) in the race.

In the season premiere, Kresteva made a brief appearance following an attack ad against Peter that aired on television.
